DESCRIPTION
2021-22 GFI student fellow
David’s project aims to use creative expression and storytelling through music to raise awareness and educate both doctors and patients alike of diabetic retinopathy. Through storytelling, his project will motivate and move patients to seek care by appealing to what may drive them most. Through talking to patients and care-providers, David will create a well-informed, intentional and engaging final product that may be shown directly in clinics and through online platforms, including social media.
